Giovanni Spadolini

From 1969 to 1994, Cosimo Ceccuti has been Giovanni Spadolini's closest contributor in the historic and cultural field. He was indicated in Spadolini's testament as general secretary for life and cultural coordinator of the activities of the Fondazione Spadolini Nuova Antologia, which he created in 1980. Over the past twenty five years, Ceccuti has dedicated many essays to his mentor's various activities, most of which are compiled into this volume. These writings trace an articulated biographical portrait of one of the most important figures of the Republican Italy through his formation, his journalistic career and his political engagement.
